Kenutcky Derby Party Menu Ideas

With the Kentucky Derby just a few short weeks away now is
the time to get busy planning your Derby Day party.One of the biggest parts of any party is the
menu, and with the Kentucky Derby there are plenty of traditional Kentucky
foods that you will want to incorporate.Here are some great ideas to keep in mind when planning the menu for
your Kentucky Derby Party this Derby Day.

Kentucky Burgoo

A Kentucky Derby party would not be complete without
Kentucky’s famous burgoo.For those who
don’t know it is a stew that consists of a little bit of everything including
rabbit, chicken, and ham.To find the
recipe to make Traditional Kentucky Burgoo you can visit
the Courier Journal Newspaper website.

Kentucky Derby Horse
Shaped Cookies

These adorable Kentucky Derby horse shaped cookies are sure
to be a hit at your Derby party.Do you
want to know what the best part is?You
don’t have to be a kitchen whiz to make them, in fact there is no baking
involved.They are made using Pepperidge
Farm Milano cookies, Mini Nilla Wafers, Tootsie Rolls, Red Licorice, and
caramel.Find out how to make these
horse cookies yourself by visiting the blog Party
Pinching.

Kentucky Hot Brown
Bites

While Kentucky Hot Browns are delicious they aren’t exactly
a party friendly food, however these Kentucky Hot Brown Bites give you all the
flavor of a Kentucky Hot Brown in a miniature party-friendly bite size.To find out how to make these Kentucky Hot
Brown Bites made with refrigerated crescent rolls visit
the website Plain Chicken.

Mint Julep

A Kentucky Derby party is just a party unless you are
serving the official drink of the Kentucky Derby, the Mint Julep.This delicious bourbon based drink is a snap
to make, with just bourbon, mint leaves, sugar, water, and some ice being all
that you need.Find out how to mix up
some Mint Juelps for your party by visiting
the Babble website.

Mint Julep Cupcakes

If you would prefer to eat your Mint Julep instead of drink
it than these Mint Julep Cupcakes from The Pink Peony is just for you.Learn how to make these “adult only” cupcakes
by visiting
The Pink Peony blog for the recipe.

Kentucky Derby Pie

While the official Kentucky Derby Pie recipe is said to be a
well kept family secret there are plenty of recipes around claiming to be the
best Kentucky Derby Pie recipe.The best
recipe that I have found that most closely resembles the official Kentucky
Derby Pie can be found by visiting
the About.com Food website.

Kentucky Bourbon Ball
Pops

If you have noticed we here in Kentucky love our Bourbon, and
it is closely associated with all things Derby.These Kentucky Bourbon Ball Pops succulently display that great taste of
Bourbon that says its Derby time like nothing else.You can find out how to make them by visiting
the blog Mirabella Creations.
